Hack the North 2026 Hacker Badge

ESP32-C3 NFC hacker badge with Lua apps, open-sourced hardware and firmware

The Hack the North 2026 hacker badge, documented by the official Devpost event page, attendee firmware archives, and since October 13-14, 2026 by Hack the North's own open-source hardware and firmware repositories: an AA-powered ESP32-C3-MINI-1 board with a 320x240 ST7789 display, eight buttons, an SC7A20 accelerometer, an MFRC522 NFC reader, and WS2812B LEDs. It served as each hacker's ID and meal QR code, unlocked hidden apps by scanning flower-pattern stickers, swapped contacts by bumping badges over BLE, ran a Solana NFC scavenger hunt, and installs user Lua apps from a browser IDE.

Overglade 2026 Zero-Power NFC E-Ink Badge

Maker-documented RP2040 e-ink/NFC game-jam badge

Kai Pereira's public archive identifies these as Overglade hackathon badges designed for the completed Singapore game jam. The device has an RP2040, passive NFC, an onboard e-ink driver, and an exposed ticket-shaped PCB with public KiCad and MicroPython source trees. Official Hack Club pages establish the event, but not a badge entitlement or all-recipient allocation.

Workday DevCon 2026 Blinky 2350 Badge

Post-event Pimoroni Blinky 2350 developer-conference badge; organizer allocation unverified

A public post-event app archive by Mainak Sarkar identifies a Pimoroni Blinky 2350 badge as handed out at Workday DevCon 2026 and says it ran the badgeware MicroPython operating system and app launcher. Workday's official pages establish the completed June 1-4 Las Vegas developer conference, but do not directly document badge issuance, recipient allocation, custom hardware, event firmware, or image rights. This is therefore a source-backed event badge record with intentionally limited organizer attribution.
